Box Butte Reservoir and the state recreation area it's part of is a fun place to visit, particularly during the warm months. Writing this, I'm thinking I should head out there this afternoon, since it's fall, and the trees along the water take a great set of colors. This mid-day shot featuring the dam road, dam posts, and (ahem) damn fluffy clouds, is straightforward, but with a few details I enjoy. The repeated receding line of the road is repeated in the shadows from the clouds crossing the sky. There is a hint of fall colors to liven up what is an almost monochromatic warm-cold foreground and sky. This scene is really about the geometry of the lines and cloud shapes.
